(LifeSite News) The U.S. Supreme Court with newly appointed Justice Amy Coney Barrett is set to hear a case on Wednesday regarding Philadelphia’s Catholic Social Services and whether the city of Philadelphia has a right to block the organization’s status as a state-approved foster care provider because of the organization’s Catholic beliefs.
The city cut off CSS foster parents from having children placed in their homes in 2018 and refused to renew their contract with CSS due to the Catholic organization’s practice of not placing children in same-sex homes.
